100% JOB SEARCH SUCCESS is directed at the development of your professional skills that begin in college and extend through the job search and into the lifelong learning environment of the workplace. This text provides you with practical information that you can apply to increase your effectiveness and success in the job search. You will find coverage of the advent of professional social networking, such as the use of LinkedIn as a job search tool (Chapter 4), and the online application process (Chapter 5). You will also find coverage of the emergence of the need for transferable skills (Chapter 2), those skills that an applicant has gained through life and work experiences that can be applied directly to their future position.

This book is not about the
economy or any theoretical discussion of why the job market may be robust or weak.
This book is a practical discussion of actionable steps (six of them) that you can take to land a job
regardless of the market. Whether the estimate is 25 percent unemployment (which, in the thick of the
recession, I’ve seen cited in the media as the real unemployment rate for certain demographics) or singledigit
unemployment, that number doesn’t apply to you.

Written for the new campaigner and the experienced communicator alike, this is a comprehensive and systematic exploration of what works in campaigning, and a practical how-to guide for using principles and strategy in campaigning as a new form of public politics.

Do you want to know in a nutshell what it takes to market yourself in a competitive job market and get more of what you want? '#JOBSEARCHtweet' gives you 140 digestible sound bites for doing just that.

100% INFORMATION LITERACY SUCCESS teaches you to develop crucial information skills to succeed in college and the workplace. This book is designed to actively help you develop skills beyond the classroom, focusing on those skills necessary for twenty-first-century learners and workers.
